 # Modified by Erik Hanson (erik@slackbuilds.org) with
 # help from Jonathan Larsen (agentc0re@learnix.net)
+#
+# Feb 16, 2010 - Modified the script and defined the $PYTHON variable
+#	outside of the if statement because it was causing issues with
+#	the other if statement that also relies on it's answer.
+#	- Fixed the second PYTHON if statement that finds the site package
+#	directory.  Added parentheses around the part that cd's into the
+#	python swig src to copy the files to the site packages so that it
+#	would interfere with the CWD before it
+#
+
+# Mar 3rd, 2010
+#   *Version upgrade to 0.5.2
+#	*fixed the "strip" for bash 4 compatability
+#
